So this series got some BIG NEWS. Two new Tomb Raider games, but not just any: -Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis (A full remaking of the first Tomb Raider) -Tomb Raider: Catalyst (A new game that follows right after Tomb Raider: Underworld, which was the last mainline release in the original...

Speaking of Hunters who lose their minds, I cared more about early game boss Rundas in Prime 3 with his limited screen time and awesome battle music than I ever have about the villain of Metroid Prime 4. Prime 2's zones did go on for way too long yes, it's the only thing I dislike about it...

As far as the name scheme goes, this particular poll would make more sense if Standard+ were dropped entirely and Extended / Extended+ got switched. It would just look neater. Accelerated+ (4 weeks on all) Accelerated (4 or 8 weeks) Standard (8 or 12 weeks) Extended (12 weeks on all) Extended+...

The Snyder Cut of Justice League also had stuff with Darkseid and his minions planning to come to Earth and find out what happened to Steppenwolf, etc. Guessing the following movies would have been a lot like the Thanos story, except the goons would have likely continued showing up one at a time...

Any suggestions for modestly priced (i.e. not overpriced) services that let you try a variety of scents? I'd like to try some of the suggestions in here. Is Scentbird good? See ads for it all the time.

Thanks for the info. Probably not going for 100%, this is very much a "finish the game and call it a day" for me. Thoughts at the midway point (guessing I'm about a third now) - This game is held up by the incredible graphics, art design, and music. I have a feeling the soundtrack was actually...

I've had friends literally die as a direct result of themselves being alcoholics or someone else being drunk, so... I got little humor for this "Quirky Alcoholic Chick!" bullshit and James Gunn can go fuck himself. I kinda want the Snyderverse back

Just when alcoholism is finally becoming uncool thanks to things like Joe Rogan talking about how unhealthy it is and how it destroys relationships, do we really need a movie glorifying being an alcoholic cunt for young women to emulate? Society-damaging media is tight!

I was going to plow the new Terminator 2 game this weekend, but everyone is completely sold out of it. Who knew Terminator would be such a big deal in 2025? So I'll likely hit MP4 hard this weekend as a result. I left off in Volt Forge. Cleared Tower 1 but it looks like now I have to do Tower 2...

I'm really looking forward to Prime 2 Remastered. This video does a good job articulating why I like Prime 2 so much. Probably one of the better Youtube videos I've watched in a while, even. Especially the way it zeroes in on the soundtrack and the effect every BGM has on the player. The...

You're totally right. "I hope they never make any more Metroid games. Fuck getting any further projects involving my favorite series growing up" That better? They've got a whole engine here that can be used to make more games that will hopefully not make the incredibly easily-avoidable...

Damn, that sounds horrible. At least we're getting a Prime 5? Use the engine from this and fix everything people hated and maybe we'll get the game this should have been by 2027 or 2028. Remaster the other Primes first plox. You need about a bajillion Green Crystals to beat the game. Even if...

So the Buga Dildo was basically just a psyop to delegitimize the Buga Sphere. Not surprised, given how literally everything I read online about the Sphere was inundated with comments all with the same derisive tone, "lol this looks like a 5 year old made it as a science project" type comments...

Maybe towards the end they're running on fumes because of whatever is making them sick. I think his wife died right around when Heretics came out, so that may have also had an impact on Chapterhouse. He himself died 2 calendar years after the wife.

Heretics must be the one where Duncan Idaho gets super powers of sex so that he can go and have orgies with the Order of Matre or whatever the all-female collective is called. Should have just made Duncan Idaho immortal instead of reviving him a hundred times. IIRC Chapterhouse was released in...

Good old Jimmy C needs to give us a Future War movie to bring Terminator full circle. Yeah, I know T2 turns it into an open spiral where they maybe prevent Judgment Day, but T1 had us on the way to a closed loop. The Terminator Resistance video game is the closest thing we have to a T3 that...

On Tuesday I've got the day entirely off and am going to take a swing at a Prime 4 marathon to try and get the game down, considering how little time I've had for it. Is 12 hours a pretty accurate guess at runtime? I've heard as low as 10 hours and as high as 18 hours, but 12 seems to be the...

Are Heretics and Chapterhouse worth reading or should one stop with Book 4? I hate unresolved cliffhangers and I know Book 6 ends that way. If Book 7 existed then of course I'd go all the way to the end, but as it is I get the impression 4 is the best stopping point to avoid frustration. Also...

Doesn't Myles chirp in regularly during the desert section? (Which is I think later? Unless that's in the first world and I haven't seen it yet) I've only played the first world (most of it, I think) and while Myles didn't annoy me as much as I expected, he IS intrusive, and it's difficult to...

Everywhere else that we've seen Metroids pop up, they were in some sort of containment / being used as weapons in their base form. With one exception: the Impact Crater in Metroid Prime, which had base form Metroids as well as Fission (split into two when attacked) and Hunter (base with a...

For a split second I processed this as Fred Sanford somehow won.

The timeline goes: Metroid > Metroid Prime series (all of them) > Metroid 2 > Super Metroid > Metroid Other M > Metroid Fusion > Metroid Dread The only real reason to have the Metroid Primes all set before Metroid 2 was so they could bring back Metroids as an antagonist (since they get...

Just gonna take a moment to appreciate how cool Epic 2.0s are. What's the best-looking Epic 2.0? Personally I'd say either Paladin, Ranger, Berserker, or Monk. All of these are sick. Double Ranger 2.0s looks insane. For Epic 1.0s I'd probably give the duke to Warrior: Ranger 1.0 and...

Definitely play this on Quality Mode rather than Performance. It still runs in 60 FPS and looks WAY nicer. Ridiculously good-looking game. Probably the best-looking game ever published by Nintendo. The graphical fidelity actually looks modern and the art direction is great too. ...most of the...

Only in flashbacks, huh? Well that's disappointing, considering we see it in the trailer. Anybody playing this? I might not have much time for it until the weekend but I'll at least give it a couple hours this afternoon if I can.

Possibly related - This looks like some sort of marketing for a new Diablo game.

Yeah I'm also wondering WTF is up with the suit. It looks like something out of Tron. Making her a mute when she has all these guys yapping at her was also a choice

Didn't preorder, I guess we'll see if I'm able to pick one up tomorrow as a walk-in. Asked GameStop about a midnight launch, sounsed like that sort of thing doesn't happen anymore.

I'd love to see a 3D version of Super Metroid using the Metroid Prime engine. Pretty much the only remake of Super that would actually be worthwhile to do because it'd be so different (no Mercury Steam 2.5D remake of Super, TY) At this point given how rare Metroid games are and all, it feels...

Out of curiosity, what's people's beef with AEW's shows? What should they do differently? Is the issue with it the look/presentation, the structure and pacing, the matches, the character development, or something else? Right now neither company really interests me, so I don't know what AEW's...

Looking at that article, it sounds like the other way around? They say that the handholding Navi characters aren't present for most of the game. At this point, I'll probably like the game because my expectations are so low and I'm sure it'll be decent enough. If I'd gone in blind with sky-high...

I also wasn't crazy about Dread. Only played through it once, beat the game, then later when I replayed Metroid 1-4 I found that I had no desire whatsoever to continue onto 5. I did try, and turned it off after about an hour. Wasn't into Samus Returns either so I guess I don't like the...

The Prydain Chronicles is another good series for any age. Sort of a Lord of the Rings with heavy Welsh/Irish/Hibernian/Nordic influences. Five books. Very easy to read, compulsively so. Aside from LOTR and Harry Potter, Prydain is the third book series that I could read every few years and have...

Nirgon vs. Araysar If this doesn't end in Araysar being the asshat, then the USSR wins.

Kind of surprised that the woman is on the right. I would have 100% expected a story like this to be an angry leftie. Hate crime hoaxes have been at an all-time high since 2021, and it's mostly women using politics or race to drum up sympathy / make themselves the main character. Like that one...

The lore in EQ hasn't been interesting in a long time, as I understand it. The last time I personally got much out of it was during the Velious remake (level 115) where we had Velious get nuked by Vulak and have to go to Sleeper's Tomb to stop him. Even the other dragons are generally against...

That's cool. I've noticed a lot of weird music similarities over the years between unrelated game properties. Everyone takes inspiration from somewhere. That sounds like Flaaghra's battle music. Omega Pirate is as far as I ever got with Prime 1 on Hard Mode back in the day. So all I had left...

Anybody who hasn't, do yourself a favor and get this while it's $9. Like Tuco said $9 is way more than worth it just to play the first half of the game.

This version of FF12 is the one they used for the Zodiac Age remaster for modern systems, if you want to play a (very very nice) upscale of it instead. They also changed it a bit to let every character pick two classes on the ability board instead of one.
